I bought my first kayak (10ft) a month ago and originally was just laying it on my roof rack with some ratchets holding it down. Since the pandemic, a lot of places are sold out or charge extremely high prices for these type of racks (i.e. dicks sporting goods).
I bought 2 sets of these racks for my car (my siblings have kayaks as well). As a young adult female, I was able to easily figure this out and assemble it myself on the roof rack of my car (no prep work required). The great thing about these racks is they only take 5-10 minutes to install on/off your car (and thats with my set of 2). After a few tries, I was even able to put the kayak on the holder by myself as well.
I was very fortunate and am able to fit/park my SUV in the garage without having to take off the roof racks (shown in pics). Obviously, cannot fit the car in the garge with kayaks on but its nice to be able to leave the racks on and just take the kayak off before entering the grage. I believe the rack height from top to bottom is about 16 inches and I had about an inch to spare pulling into my garage. Another added bonus of this...

RedShiftRider: Purchased these racks to attach to a set of stock cross bars on a 2015 Subaru Forester to transport a kayak. If you're looking for a set of no-frill straight forward racks then look no further. These will be exactly what you need.
Great quality for the price and they include everything needed. They bolt up easily enough for the average person that knows how to use a wrench. They also come with a set of large wing nuts for temporary use, rather than the standard nuts, if you're not looking to leave them attached permanently. A standard 8 foot kayak fits snugly and the J-bars are padded in just enough spots to keep the kayak protected. The straps are decent enough quality to not cause any concern and are straightforward to use, if not a little short.
The only 2 drawbacks I can mention are that the racks seem to be designed more for use on a rounded style cross bar rather than a flatter crossbar. As the mounting brackets really only make contact with the outer most edges of the cross bar if it's a flatter style bar. But they tighten down and are plenty sturdy enough for this to really be of no concern, it just looks a little concerning at first glance. The only other...

Jack E.: Worked fine for two kayaks (purchased 1 set for each kayak).
However, the foam padding on each bar is damaged already. One of them had damaged padding right out of the box.
Used on memorial day weekend, went kayaking twice. So load kayaks at home, unload at lake, load back up when finished, and unload back at home. So load and unload two times and the foam is already ripped and falling off. For the price it seems OK, but as I had to purchase two sets, it's now closer to $60 I paid.
The installation process is fine, two thumb screws clamp for vehicle crossbars as a friction fit. Unscrew one screw most of the way, and unscrew the other all the way. Rotate the horseshoe clamp out of the way of the crossbar, set the rack down, then rotate the clamp. Install the washer, spring, and second washer that fell off earlier, and squeeze the clamp onto the stud. Hold together with one hand and then use your other hand to thread the thumb screw on underneath. Hold the rack in place until both screws tightened just enough to keep the rack from rolling over. Make sure there is enough space in front of the rack for your straps. Then tighten all the way.
The kit comes...
